The Blythes Are Quoted
Book 9 of the Anne of Green Gables series
Montgomery's final Anne-related work blends short stories, poems attributed to Anne and Walter, and family conversations spanning the years before the First World War through the approach of the Second. Many stories center on neighbors in Glen St. Mary whose admiration, jealousy, or resentment makes the Blythe family a revealing presence even when its members remain offstage. The collection's later sections turn darker as war, aging, grief, and disappointed lives challenge the sunnier image of Avonlea. Complex and elegiac, this is a reflective choice for established Anne readers who want community voices, experimental form, and a more somber farewell to a familiar world.
